If you are looking at real estate, there are many reasons to consider buying land, property or a home in Alleghany County in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Most compelling is probably the Blue Ridge Mountains which give a unique character to the land and create the area's scenic vistas. The Blue Ridge Parkway winds along the Crest of the Blue Ridge which forms the county's southeaster border. County elevation begins at around 2,500 feet, to a maximum of 4,000 feet. The elevation insures mild summers and a broad splash of fall color.
River property is also an attraction. The county is principally drained by the New River, which flows along the western and northern border, and its main tributary, the Little River, which runs through the central portion of the county. The New River has been designated both a National Scenic River and a Heritage River. County land is also filled with numerous creeks and streams that enhance property appeal.
The mountains isolated this land for much of the 20th Century such that it has escaped the crowds and real estate development that marks so many locales. Allehgany County still has a small town charm that has been lost in many cities and towns. Yet, it is convenient to urban areas of Northwestern North Carolina. It's a little more than a hour's drive to Winston-Salem, less than two hours to Charlotte.
If these amenities encourage you to considering purchasing a home, land or property in the Blue Ridge Moutains, Alleghany real estate agencies are ready to serve your needs. If you want to just pay a visit and check out the community, consider these variety of accomodations for your visit.
